About Jenni L. Walsh

​Jenni L. Walsh spent her early years chasing around cats, dogs, and chickens in Philadelphia's countryside, before dividing time between a soccer field and a classroom at Villanova University. She put her marketing degree to good use as an advertising copywriter, zip-code hopping with her husband to DC, NYC, NJ, and not surprisingly, back to Philly. There, Jenni's passion for words continued, adding author to her resume. She now balances her laptop with a kid on each hip, and two four-legged children at her feet.

For the mamas, BECOMING BONNIE (Macmillan) tells the untold story of how wholesome Bonnie Parker becomes half of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde duo during the 1920s. SIDE BY SIDE (Macmillan) tells the crime spree story of Bonnie and Clyde told through Bonnie's eyes.

For the kiddos, the SHE DARED series (Scholastic) features true stories from heroic women who, at a young age, accomplished daring feats of perseverance and bravery.
